I was wondering if there was a way to change some of the default tools options in PS7. I know that generally the program remembers the last tool preferences you worked with, but there are two instances where a system default always seems to first present an option I do not want to use.
Example: The Save for Web command. My display always comes up with the slice tool active when I select this function. I always want the move (hand) tool active, so I must first select it and proceed. I hardly ever want to use the Slice command, but regardless of what I did last, the pop-up box ALWAYS starts with the Slice tool. Very frustrating!
Example: If I want to apply a layer style, say Outer Glow, it always comes up with a pale yellow in Screen blend mode. I always change that to some other color (I can’t stand that hue!) and put in Normal blend mode. However, if I come back to that function it always pops up with that pale yellow/ screen mode. Why doesn’t it remember what I like to use? Should I yell at the screen some more or try something else?
Thanks in advance.
